Chapter 68: Recognize a killer as a sister
This time it was Xiao Mei's turn to be surprised, she had no parents and no one hurt since she was a child, she followed her master to learn to kill, and lived a life of licking blood with a knife today and no tomorrow. Now she owes a lot of debt, planting flowers and raising ducks every day, but she feels extremely calm in her heart, although she is only a nominal husband and wife with her senior brother, but when someone calls him sister-in-law, he still feels very happy, thinking that this happy and stable life will last forever. But now he said that this kind of brocade clothes and jade food, pampered days are the same as his own situation, Xiao Mei is very puzzled.
"Sister Mei, you must be surprised by my words!" Zhao Ta sat up straight, took two peaches from the low table next to him, handed them to Xiao Mei and said, "Have you ever heard of such a sentence?" The most ruthless imperial family! ”
"The most ruthless emperor?!" Xiao Mei held the peach and muttered repeatedly.
"Yes, born in the emperor's house, I have lived in the shadow of conspiracy and death since I landed, don't look at me as if I was only eight years old in a few years, but I have already died twice, that is, God favored me, so that I escaped death and barely survived to this day!" Zhao Ta chewed something in his mouth and said helplessly.
"But you are the prince, who dares to kill you?" Xiao Mei said in shock, she felt that she had done a great deal by killing Zhang Kangguo, and she didn't expect that anyone would dare to assassinate the prince.
"Hehe, who else can there be, it's not my brothers, don't look at my brother for a day, but he will give you a knife when you turn around!"
"You are brothers, how can you do it!"
"Think about it, there are only eight or nine of our brothers now, but there is only one chair in the Jinluan Palace, everyone wants to sit on it, and if one dies, there will be one less opponent!" Zhao Ta said with a sad face, "With them, I don't dare to eat or drink, I have to open my eyes when I sleep, and I have to look at the sky when I walk, so it's better to be at ease with you!" ”
"No wonder you're a ghost, it turns out that this is the case, even your own brothers have to be on guard at all times, it's not interesting to live this kind of life!"
"Yes, you are a lonely young man, although I have many brothers, but one by one they want to kill me and then quickly, just because I was not killed by them, I slandered in front of my father, saying that I was a demon, and drove me to this poor country, if it weren't for my mother's grandfather and Huang Bo's protection, I would have been killed by them a few times." Zhao Ta said with tears in his eyes, "Sister Mei, now that you are homeless, I have a home and it is difficult to return, who is better than the other in the life of the two of us?"
"Every time I see you, I am happy, I think you were born in the royal family, you must be happy and happy, but I don't know that you are so miserable in your heart, today you call me sister, I want to see which one who is not long-eyed dares to harm you again under my nose!" Xiao Mei didn't know if it was because she was infected by Zhao Ta's emotions, and felt that she had found a soulmate, or if her motherhood exploded, she made a promise under excitement anyway, and she kept the promise she made in this irrational situation all her life.
"Sister, you treat me so well, better than my own sister, no, you will be my own sister in the future!" Zhao Ta threw himself into Xiao Mei's arms and said with tears streaming down his eyes, at this time, the middle-aged uncle in his forties in his mind didn't know where to hide, and now he was the long-lost family affection that an eight-year-old child was looking forward to.
"Good brother, no one will dare to bully you if you have a sister in the future!" Xiao Mei held Zhao Ta's face to wipe away her tears, kissed it gently and said, Zhao Ta was stunned, he seemed to see his sister in his previous life again, and saw his childhood self crying and hiding behind his sister,
"I have a sister..." Zhao Ta stood up and shouted loudly at the pond, the echo rippled, and the fish that had just bitten the hook was shocked, and the duck that was playing in the water was eager to become an ancestor and fly.
"Okay, don't shout, it's embarrassing for people to hear it!" Xiao Mei hurriedly grabbed Zhao Ta, who was 'convulsive', and said with a smile.
"I just let everyone know, I have a very powerful sister, see who dares to bully me!" Zhao Tan crossed his waist and pointed at his own acres and points and said arrogantly, as if his emperor's father's name was not as loud as his newly recognized sister.
"Okay, don't stink, make people laugh!" Although Xiao Mei was a little embarrassed to say what Zhao Ta said, she was very useful in her heart, and pulled him over and said.
"The fish bites, this time it's a big fish!" Seeing the fishing rod inserted in the edge of the pond swinging around, Zhao Ta pounced on the fishing rod and shouted. This fish is indeed not small, Zhao Ta alone could not pull it ashore, and it was only with the help of Xiao Mei that he got this big fish of more than three catties. ,
"Sister Mei, I'll use these fish I caught today to make two dishes to celebrate!" Zhao Ta wiped his sweat and pointed to the fish in the bucket and said.
"Okay, I heard Zhao Xin say that your dishes are novel and delicious, so I will be full, but I don't know how much money you plan to charge me today!" Xiao Mei raised her eyebrows and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"This?" Zhao Ta pretended to think for a while and said: "It is said that brothers settle accounts, but we are sisters and brothers, even if I invite them!" He patted his chest and said generously.
"Naughty bag!" Xiao Mei scratched his nose affectionately and smiled.
The prince likes to cook and eat by himself, and the little yellow men who follow him all know the way, so he specially prepared a set of cooking utensils, only he said that he wanted to use it, and he could make a fire to cook immediately.
Zhao Ta washed his hands, Xiao Huangmen came up to put on an apron for him, he thought about it for a while, thought about the dishes to be made, saw that the largest grass carp in the bucket suddenly grabbed the head of the fish, grabbed the two cheeks of the fish and took it out of the bucket, before the fish struggled, Zhao Ta picked up the kitchen knife and knocked it the head of the fish with the back of the knife, and the fish that was still alive just now became a dead fish.
He moved slightly, threw the fish on the board with his backhand, the kitchen knife in his hand did not stop, scraped the fish scales back and forth several times, pulled a knife to disembowelment the fish, removed the internal organs of the fish, and then washed up and down several times in the clean water to wash away the dirty blood, at this time the small yellow door has been replaced with a new board. Zhao Ta slashed from the spine of the fish this time, but after a few breaths, he had already removed the flesh of the fish, and only a pair of bare fish bones and a huge fish head were left on the board.
"Little brother is so proficient in swordsmanship, have you learned martial arts?" Looking at Zhao Ta's flowing movements, he couldn't help but ask.
"How can I know any martial arts, and now I have only learned a few superficial boxing techniques from Master Meng, but I have done too much and am just proficient!" Zhao Ta raised his head and said with a smile, but the work in his hand did not stop, he smashed the fish meat with the back of a knife into minced meat, filtered out the bone spurs with gauze and put it in a bowl, beat an egg and put the egg white into the meat, added a little refined salt and stirred evenly, and put it aside for later use.
Then Zhao Ta cleaned up the two fish, let the little yellow door burn the fire on the oil pot, cut one of the carp from the back and slice it obliquely, and then slice it into thin wires, pour rice wine, and then adjust the remaining egg yolk just now to make the starch, hang the paste, and then pat on the dry flour, at this time the oil has boiled, he carried the fish into the oil pot and shook it a few times, and then immersed the fish in the oil pot after setting.
"Little brother is so flexible, if you learn martial arts, you will definitely become a master!" Xiao Mei looked at Zhao Ta's movements and sighed.
"Hehe, little brother, my body is too weak, I can't even pull the three bucket bows, it's not a material for learning martial arts at all, and I don't have to spend that effort when I have my sister by my side in the future!" Zhao Ta fished out the fried fish and said.
"I'm afraid that you have been pampered for a long time, are you afraid of hardship and tiredness?" Xiao Mei snorted and said.
"My sister is really like a god, and she even knows this!" Zhao Ta kept busy with his hands and feet, and patted his ass without delay, Xiao Mei shook her head with a wry smile and didn't say anything more.
Zhao Ta then steamed another fish, and poured sweet and sour on the fried fish, but there was no starch in this era, so he could only use soybean flour instead, and he fiddled with the shape of the fish a little and said: "The golden retriever lion fish is good, please try it!" Zhao Ta handed a pair of chopsticks and said.
Women love to eat sweet and sour food, Xiao Mei is no exception, looking at this exquisitely shaped fish for a while, I really can't bear to put down the chopsticks, but I still can't resist the temptation of deliciousness, and put a small piece in my mouth, "It's delicious, it's delicious, I've eaten all the major restaurants in the north and south, and I haven't eaten such a delicious fish!" ”
"Of course, my craft is that even the imperial chef has to bow down!" Zhao Ta said unashamedly, but it wasn't bragging, the dishes he made had never appeared in the Great Song Dynasty, and naturally the imperial chef couldn't make it.
"Second master, the water is boiling!" The little yellow door on the side reminded.
"Okay, you take the steamed fish out of the pot, and I'll make another soup!" Zhao Ta instructed Xiao Huangmen, he kneaded the chopped surimi into balls and threw them into the pot one by one, just waiting for the water to boil a few times, light the sesame oil and immediately get out of the pot, and all three dishes were done.
"Second Master..." At this time, a small yellow door said with a smile on two plates.
"Cut, old rules, the head of the fish belongs to me, and the tail of the fish belongs to you!" Zhao Ta said and divided each fish into two portions and picked them up on the plate at the end of the small yellow door.
"Second Master Xie!" Little Yellow Door said with a hippie smile.
"Do you often share food with the second master?" Xiao Mei asked Xiao Huangmen puzzled.
"Of course, no matter what the second master eats outside, he will leave us a copy, and never eats alone!" Xiao Huangmen said with a smile, he also knew that the prince was good at this duck, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
"Little brother, so you are the one who has made my heart to fix me, hurry up and return the IOU to me!" Xiao Mei turned her head and glared at Zhao Ta.
"Hehe, I just want to keep my sister in my house for a few more days, and I'll pay you back the IOU when I get back!" Zhao Ta grimaced and said jokingly.
The two of them sat down under the table that had been set up, Xiao Huangmen set up the dishes and chopsticks for them and poured wine, Zhao Ta let them do their own thing, the two of them chatted while eating, Zhao Ta slightly adapted the joke of the previous life to Xiao Mei, Xiao Mei also said some interesting things she heard on the rivers and lakes, and the two of them chatted happily and talked closer and closer.
"Sister Mei, what's the matter with you and Brother Lu, I see how he has become cold to you these days." After a few glasses of wine, Zhao Ta became bold and inquired about the private affairs of the two people.
"Ahh Xiao Mei sighed gloomily and drank another glass of wine.
